Thankfully, our host and fitness expert was keen to get us started and runs us through the four-part obstacle course.

In short: We bear crawled, climbed, jump-squatted, lunged and sprinted our way through to the end where we were met with a pit of mud. And yes, we mucked in and crawled our way to salvation. Despite artic temperatures and rain we were all smiles and surprisingly enjoyed every bit of it.
